Family FAQs

To help you navigate the process of applying for family housing, it’s useful to review a few of the frequently asked questions (FAQs) below.

Is housing guaranteed for newly admitted Graduate students?

Georgia Tech Housing is not guaranteed and not required for any student. Housing is limited and will be awarded via the housing lottery process. If selected from the lottery, students will receive a randomized lottery number to participate in the room selection (self-assign) process. If not selected from the lottery, students will be assigned to the waitlist in accordance with their lottery number. If they apply after the priority deadline, they will be assigned to the waitlist in order of application. Students should research and consider off-campus housing options as well.

What type of housing is available for students with families and graduate students?

Family housing options include one- and two-bedroom unfurnished apartments at Tenth and Home. This is available to those living full-time with a spouse or partner, and/or child(ren).

Single, graduate student housing options include one- and two-bedroom furnished apartments at Tenth and Home. Two-bedroom options are for two roommates.

Can a single grad student apply for FAMILY housing?

No. Single students are not eligible for FAMILY (unfurnished) housing and may not apply for FAMILY housing.

I am a newly admitted graduate student. Why can't I access the housing application?

Once a student is admitted by their department, the Office of Graduate Education will complete an application verification and evaluation process which can take between six to eight weeks from the date that your required documents are received. In some cases, it can take up to 12 weeks during peak admission times. Students can apply for housing once their admission is verified and finalized by Graduate Education.
